Rishi Panchami

Rushichi bhaji

 

A day after Ganesh Chaturthi we celebrate Rishi Panchami and a bhog for rishi Panchami is “Rushi chi bhaji” an authentic delicacy of Maharashtra. Boiled Modak is also a crucial element of prasad for all the days. At my house in Palghar, Maharashtra (110 years old ancestor’s house) we celebrate one and a half days of Ganpati utsav at home. The food we prepare for both days has been traditional food from my grandmother in law’s time (Kusum Patkar).

Madhav & Arjun were born in Australia and we barely visit during the Ganesh Chaturthi in India. Though we decided to visit every year; it was not practical and possible to visit during Ganesh Chaturthi due to school and work commitments.  So Harshaj & I decided to create a replica of our home Ganpati, decoration, food and all of the things.
